The Industrial Revolution (pages 250-273 of Modern World History)
Revolutions are, by definition, rapid and upsetting change(note the French Revolution...or even puberty). Yes, a lot of the times change is good. But, no change comes without some sort of collateral damage. This was an era of not just great technological change, but also of social and artistic change.
Your focus here should be to note what were the causes. That is the factors that lead to industrialization. And the results. The "collateral damage" that happened ("happens") due to industrial change.
Reading assignment for Monday's class: pp. 250-257.

Why were children used as labouers in factories in 18th century Britain?

Reactions to the Industrial Revolution
As indicated in the notes and reading (pp. 258-266) reactions were not always good or favorable. Many people such as the Luddites actually violently opposed industrialization by sabotaging machinery (" monkey wrenching") or rioting. Seldom were the authorities sympathetic to those whose lives were forever altered by this change.
Many crimes involving property were capital offenses. In some cases the convicted were exhiled to Australia. Hence, the term POHM (prisoner of her/his majesty). Please go to http://www.activehistory.co.uk/. I will instruct you what to do once you are on this site. From here you will play a game where you will be the judge and will pass sentences on ten individuals. Once you are finished you will see what those people actually got.

The central character goes bonkers in the film. What causes him to lose control of himself?
The owner of the factory ("the owner of the "means of production" is how Marx would describe them) seeks to exploit as much labor out of his workers as he can. Provide an example of this from the film.
What is the connection between poverty and being a criminal that the film is seeking to show?
